About this property
Stalham 3 miles. This splendid, three-bedroom, end-terrace cottage, Kingsley Cottage, is conveniently located within the village of Stalham, Norfolk. Ideal for nature lovers, birdwatchers, walkers, cyclists and beach-lovers alike, Kingsley Cottage welcomes six guests, friends and families alike, to bask in the ultimate getaway in East Anglia. Cross the threshold into your new home-from-home and discover an inviting living space complete with plush sofas and a TV so you can unwind after a long day with some light entertainment; allow the designated chef to become acquainted with the well-equipped kitchen/diner and settle down to eat in front of the open fire.
Alternatively, the sitting room offers a light space with patio doors opening out to the decked area and enclosed back garden for alfresco dining on a summer’s evening. Upstairs there are three attractive bedrooms including a double and two twins, providing flexible accommodation for six guests, with a spacious ground-floor family bathroom with bath and shower over so you can indulge a long soak or refresh before heading to the local pub. Surrounded by beautiful coastline, stunning countryside and the famous Norfolk Broads, there is plenty to do close by; travel to one of several stunning beaches including Sea Palling Beach, Winterton Beach or Walcott Beach where you can watch the world pass by or unwind with a good book.
History buffs will appreciate a trip to the Museum of Broads or the National Trust owned Horsey Windpump whereas younger members of the group will have a great day at Hirst’s Family Fun Park or Thrigby Hall Wildlife Gardens. Further afield, journey to the bustling city of Norwich where the magnificent Norwich Castle Museum and Art Gallery, Norwich Cathedral and The Plantation Garden all await. With something for everyone here you are sure to want to return to Kingsley Cottage in this wonderful part of Norfolk again and again.
The market town of Stalham is a typical North Norfolk town, with a high street that has a decent selection of shops and restaurants. In addition to regular sales in the town hall, there is a small market that visits on Tuesdays and a farmers' market every other Saturday. A museum that will give you a better understanding of the Broadland ecosystem is essential as Stalham is one of the main starting sites for boating vacations on the Norfolk Broads. This is the ideal starting point for exploring the Norfolk Broads and shoreline because it is only a few miles inland from wonderful beaches.

A private garden to enjoy in the evening. The property is very spacious and with excellent facilities. Very comfortable and relaxing. Only a short walk to a very welcoming pub which served delicious meals and also had a very safe garden for our three children. The village is well placed for safe swimming at Sea Palling and Mundersley. Varied activities within the area. It is definitely a cottage and location that we would revisit. A very big thank you to the owners.

The cottage has everything you need for your stay. There is a secure garden for your pet too, and a lovely patio area for a glass of red wine in the evenings. There is a pub within a very short walking distance, with lovely food served at lunchtime and in the evening. Sea Palling beach is a short drive away, dog friendly too. Horsey Bay is also a short drive away and the perfect place to see the seals. We had a wonderful break, and the cottage is highly recommended! Thank you.
